McCall Sarrett

Dr. Sarrett (she/her) is a Nashville native and completed her BA in Neuroscience and the Perception of Language at the University of Tennessee, and her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Iowa. Her work examines multiple issues is spoken language processing and second language learning. To address these issues, her lab uses a variety of techniques, including eye-tracking, electroencephalography (EEG), and machine learning. The goal of this work is to better characterize the neural and cognitive mechanisms that support language processing with the hope of better informing treatments and approaches in the classroom (for language learners) and the clinic (for those with hearing loss or other language difficulties). In her spare time, she enjoys climbing, whistling, and making ice cream.
